That is a quote from Monty Python

It inspired me to write this piece


The Only Sound Basis for Government

As republics are refined and the democratic vote perfected, governments will truly represent, closer then closer, the inner ideals of the voters. As we craft towards this lofty ideal, the plain folks of the common land and the zealots of the well trodden paths will reach their heart’s desire , at last , and democracies will be governed by fools as the greatest of us will be lead by the least of us.

Our cherished belief in controlled masses voting for truth, justice and
freedom is a terrifying web spun by the three fates. The problem is not that voters don't know; the problem is voters think they know what just ain't so.

Once that strange nymph, living inside pond water, arises into the light
and resumes handing out swords things will get better. Supreme executive power derived from a farcical aquatic ceremony is the only sound basis for government.

If I watched that moistened bint lob a warriors sword at you,
I would bow before those silver rings of water rippling towards me,
and pledge my allegiance without question

I like that Walz recently called Trump 'weird'.

How destabilizing is that 🤣

I mean Trump's a complete idiot, a bully, a psychopath, an arrogant prick, a pathetic liar but weird?? He's everything that's wrong about a human being but weird... No.

So i kind of like it. His maga racist cult won't know what to do with weird people because my freaking god if there are some weird people on this planet it's surely Trump's supporter!
You just gotta see this textbook weird Trumper and listen to him in his own words NOT realize how weird he and the MAGA'ts are! You simply cannot make this shit up!!!

I have indexed the video to start at the weird segment! The weird discussion is only a minute long but the rest of the segment is so incredibly lacking in self awareness Carnival!

It certainly seems he is frantic and triggered for some reason! But he wears virtually the same ridiculous hat with his Ballistic Red Hair Gel hat anyways!

Thanks for your support of our future president ,Trump! Fight fight fight baby
Trump only cheats. All the Repuglican objections to the 2020 vote count were dismissed by officials of all political stripes. Every court filing was dismissed ( over 60). It was al bullshit, just like the crap about the double counted votes in Georgia. Just a smoke screen by the cheating Trumpsters to counter the unrefutable evidence of the recorded phone call when the felon=in-chief tried to intimidate the Georgia election official into fabricating 12000 votes for him. And there are other cases of Trump's meddling, but thanks to the corrupt Supreme Court, these cases will be thrown out due to blanket immunity. So much for democracy....

So these were 100% for Biden? Or 100% for Trump?
Neither.
There was a double counting of actual ballots from an area, so it was mixed.

If I recall, it favored Trump, but it wasn't 100% Trump ballots added in.
It was a mistake that went Trump's way but wasn't enough to change the outcome.

There is serious election fraud in most blue states. Who knows what these cheats do with mail in ballots and absentee ballots. Voter fraud has been existent since the country was founded. Since I was a kid the plot line on this topic would be the audience later finding out grandma who’s been dead for 30 years voted in the election too.
Republicans have been caught voting for dead people, it is true.

You could easily shut all conservatives up by doing single day voting with ID, and making it a holiday so most don’t need to go to work.
Making voting day a federal holiday has been proposed many times.
The GOP keeps shooting it down.
It makes it easier for people who work for a living to vote and that isn't something the GOP wants.

Mitch McConnell even called it a power grab when he helped block it the last time I remember it getting to the Senate.

“Just what America needs, another paid holiday and a bunch of government workers being paid to go out and work ... [on Democratic] campaigns,” he snarked on the Senate floor. “This is the Democrat plan to restore democracy? ... A power grab.”

That’s democracy and election deniers would have nothing to stand on. Yet most blue states just refuse to agree. A child could connect the dots. It’s so easy and there is no good reason not to do this.
You have it completely backwards.
It's the GOP blocking an election holiday.

As for voter ID, if the GOP would agree to allowing valid IDs to be used, that could probably be passed, but that's another one where the GOP refuses to get on board.

Trump with his head raised in defiant God Father like alpha male pose

He does this pose all the time

A topic that is never discussed is how Trump states he has new evidence about the stolen election or his innocence or whatever that he never produces and no calls him on it

Remember when he said climate change was a hoax and never produced any evidence ? The press should of hounded him on it without mercy and totally let him off

Scary stuff. Candidates could not lie if the press did their job

The press allows dictators to get in , laws passed with no science such as marajuana , the rich get richer , outlaw sex , ad nauseam while they expand sports coverage and citizens get their news from gabby talk shows hosts and talking heads

Yea, well I don’t agree with the GOP. If they don’t want democrats messing with non English speaking illegals voting, and duplicate mail in and absentee votes, they need to compromise even if it means it will let more democrats be able to vote. Just sick of this garbage illegals and made up votes from the democrats.

Damn it all to hell. Clown politicians on both sides
While I obviously disagree with you on lots of things, kudos for being consistent here.

I honestly think you could get pretty wide support for a bunch of real electoral reforms.
I just despair of the GOP ever supporting those since so much of their strategy is based on voter suppression.

I've always been impressed how much of the fervent discussion on voter fraud is designed to make people stoooopid.
You can't vote twice. Your vote, and your signature, is checked against the voter roll. If you sign in in person, then your mail in is discarded. To flood in illegal votes you need to know names, need to know their signature, and know they didn't vote already as just a start. You can't vote in person in a precinct that you're not registered in.

So these people blathering on saying "fraud, so my guy won" is classic third world dictator tactics (delegitimize the election by screaming about rigging and fraud prior, try to fuck up the vote, cry fraud afterward and fight it out on the street to take power). Keep in mind also that the recounts almost always, when they did show a minor change, showed a shift toward Biden. Also keep in mind Biden was polling 7 points ahead of Trump, and won by 4. And the vast majority of those caught committing fraud were Trump voters.

And, as Vacazar says, all the sensible reforms are blocked by the Republicans. (E.g., make election day a holiday, or even move it to a weekend). In Oz it's a weekend (and, BTW, mandatory -pay a fine if you don't vote - because the logic was make everyone vote you're a lot less likely to get extreme candidates, and you vote preferences). All the extreme measures are used by Rs to suppress the black/ D vote (e.g., in the white suburbs the wait to vote is measured in minutes, in the black inner city it is measured in hours. And that's why laws against giving a bottle of water to voters in queue was passed by Rs - it would make it more likely a black voter would say "fuck it" and go home and not vote after waiting 4 hours in queue. There are no such queues in the white areas). There is clear evidence the Rs studied how Ds vote and pass laws that disproportionately affect Ds (eg uni ID not acceptable ID but NRA membership card is acceptable).
